Giroptic strapped one of its forthcoming 360cams to the back of an eagle flying near Scotland's Loch Goil to stunning effect. Though don't expect a drone-style steadicam shot: eagles, it would appear, are well-suited to fly through wind and turbulence.

The 360cam has a unique design including interchangeable bases that let you, for example, power it using a light bulb socket. But, in the meantime, the 360 camera market has become far more competitive, with heavyweights such as Ricoh, Kodak, Samsung and LG entering the ring, as well as several other smaller companies like 360fly and ALLie.
